Nine Dukes Named to Phil Steele's All-NEC Team

PITTSBURGH – Nine Dukes have earned a spot on Phil Steele's All-Northeast Conference Team released today.

The four players who were named all-conference by the league's coaches on Nov. 23: senior receiver Dwayne Menders Jr. (Miramar, Fla./Mater Academy Charter), junior linebacker Todd Hill (Homestead, Pa./Steel Valley), sophomore receiver Abdul Janneh (Hanover, Pa./New Oxford) and junior defensive back Jeremiah Josephs (Pittsburgh, Pa./Gateway) received the same honor from Phil Steele with Menders Jr. and Hill named First Team and Janneh and Josephs named Second Team - mirroring their All-NEC awards. The only difference was Menders also earning Second Team honors as an All Purpose Special Teams player.

DU also had five Third Team honorees including sophomore running back Billy Lucas (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep), and linemen junior Vincent Lumia (Riviera Beach, Fla./Suncoast), sophomore Michael Dorundo (Gibsonia, Pa./Pine-Richland) and graduate Josh Zacher (Livingston, N.J./Livingston) all earning spots on the offensive side of the ball. Sophomore linebacker Shane Stump (Jefferson Hills, Pa./Thomas Jefferson) was named to the Third Team defense.
